Xia Nan naturally didn't know the resentment in Liu Ru's heart, but even if he knew, there would be no change. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info poems to make pairs, singing and harmony with each other, that is the fun of ancient readers, as a modern person, the biggest pursuit is to wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, these famous prostitutes poetry and music talents, in his opinion like chicken ribs, tasteless food, but it is an embellishment to raise the value.

After three rounds of drinking, "The Pipa Story" has been sung for most of the time, Xia Nan and Xu Hongji are already a little drunk, although Lin Weiye has not been drunk, but he has been intoxicated by Li Xiangjun's shallow chanting and low singing, Gu, Dong, and Liu, who are responsible for accompanying the wine, will inevitably have to take a few sips, and their faces are flushed, and the originally somewhat solemn and dull atmosphere seems to have eased a little, and the stiffness and embarrassment when the three girls first entered the door seem to have never appeared. But what happened next proved that this was nothing more than an illusion.

Lin Weiye was intoxicated by the crisp pipa sound of Li Xiangjun Yuzhu walking on the plate, but he slowly heard a trace of noise, as if it was coming from outside. Gradually, the noise grew louder and louder, mixed with the sound of loud shouting, almost muffling the sound of the lute. Lin Weiye stood up angrily and came to the window to look, wanting to see who disturbed him to enjoy the beautiful music.

He stood at the window and saw dozens of people along the river embankment carrying lanterns in the direction of Meilou, looking like a fire dragon from a distance. It didn't take long for these people to arrive outside the Meilou, and they were blocked by soldiers with loaded guns and could not enter, and they were very excited and made a loud noise.

Xia Nan also noticed that something was wrong, frowned and said to Shimazu Chiyo behind him, "Send someone to see what's going on?" ”

Before Shimazu Chiyo went out, someone outside shouted: "Dog officer, quickly release Li Xiangjun and the other three girls!" ”

The sound of the pipa came to an abrupt end, Li Xiangjun's originally wooden face suddenly smiled, she put down the pipa and cheered: "Hou Lang is here!" ”

Lin Weiye turned around and saw the change in her expression, and he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he had been pressed on a thousand pounds of boulders, and he was a little out of breath.

Before Xia Nan could speak, Xu Hongji had already stood up, blew his beard and glared and said, "Who is noisy and disturbing us to drink." He went out in a huff, came to the corridor, looked down at the crowd below, and asked loudly, "Who is making a noise here?" ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and several people hid in it and shouted in unison: "Hugh is verbose, hurry up and release a few girls!" ”

The pro-army of the Guogong Mansion downstairs scolded: "Presumptuous, the Nanjing garrison, the crown prince Taibao, and the Wei Guogong are here, and they don't retreat quickly!" ”

A young scholar stood up and said righteously: "Wei Guogong is the head of Nanjing's nobles, and he should be a model for my generation. Occupy Meilou and Gu Mei not to mention it for the time being, why do you still want to keep the three girls Li Xiangjun, Liu Ruyi, and Dong Xiaowan? The imperial court gave you military power, is it used to bully men and women? ”

These sharp words made Xu Hongji speechless for a while, he thought about it carefully, and a cold sweat broke out on his head, and the wine woke up all of a sudden. If it reaches the ears of the official, if it is seriously calculated, it will be a big trouble - the crime of private use of public weapons and unauthorized use of military power can be big or small, and if the top is not investigated, it is a big matter, and even the hereditary Guogong must take off the skin, and the indispensable Chang Kun is brought down, isn't there such a crime in the crime?

Speaking of which, Xu Hongji is also a little wronged, there are only a dozen pro-soldiers he brought, with his powerful position, he is already very low-key, and the hundreds of soldiers and samurai are not his people! But you can't argue in public that this is Ping Nanbo's people, otherwise wouldn't you offend this rising star in the political arena and the military? The rapport that the two sides had built up over the past few days would be immediately in vain.

He could only avoid the important and trivial: "You may have misunderstood, the three girls were just invited by me to the banquet to help the fun, and there is no intention of forcing them to stay......"

The scholar snorted coldly: "Wei Guogong said lightly, what kind of characters are the three girls, whether they are dignitaries or young talents on weekdays, it is rare to invite one of them when they are free, let alone the three of them gathering?" You said that it was useless, ask everyone to believe it? ”

Everyone downstairs echoed in unison: "Don't believe it! ”

The scholar proudly stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Hongji: "Hurry up and release the three girls, otherwise be careful of being accused of participating in a public weapon for private use and leading a prostitute!" ”

Xu Hongji was shocked and angry, and asked, "Who are you?" Is it so deliberate to frame me? ”

The scholar took two steps forward, and several lanterns illuminated his face: "Does Guogong still remember me?" Before January, we drank together in Meilou. ”

"Hou Fangyu?" Xu Hongji was taken aback. It's a shame that I once had these scholars who had been reinstated, but I didn't expect to turn my face and not recognize people, and the civil and military forces have a different path after all.

Hou Fangyu's Laozi Hou Sui is the former head of the household department, although he is in prison, but the connections in the officialdom are still there, which should not be underestimated. The energy of the Restoration Society is even more extraordinary, it has mastered the right to speak in Shilin, and when the time comes, it will be spread everywhere, saying that he is a ridiculous character who leads the soldiers and prostitutes, how can he argue with one mouth that the Restoration Society has hundreds of mouths, not to mention that many officials and scholars in the DPRK and China have claimed to be the leader of the Restoration Society, Zhang Pumen, and the lawsuit will be unclear even if it reaches the capital.

Just when Xu Hongji was in a dilemma, Liu Ru in the room smiled. A few of them are weak women who can't help the warriors like wolves and tigers, but Wen Neng can overcome martial arts, and the Fushe, which has great energy in both the people and the government and the opposition, is a sharp weapon to turn defeat into victory. She walked to Li Xiangjun's side and took Li Xiangjun's hand, the latter smiled sweetly, and the two held hands, as if waiting for the moment of victory, and walked out of the eyebrow tower with their heads held high under Xia Nan's helpless gaze.

Dong Xiaowan didn't stand with the two, and there was a trace of worry in her eyes. In Suzhou, she has seen Xia Nan's methods, a general still doesn't take the Nanjing town guard eunuch in his eyes, not to mention that he is now Ping Nanbo, and he holds military power, will easily bow to a group of scholars?

Xia Nan put down his wine glass, stood up, paced leisurely to the door, stood beside Xu Hongji, and said to Hou Fangyu condescendingly: "Hou Gongzi, I have heard what you and Wei Guogong said. You keep saying that we have forced a few girls to be left by force and let us let them go, and I ask you, who are these three women? ”

Hou Fangyu was stunned, and subconsciously replied: "I...... They're not my people......"

"If they are your wives and concubines, please take them back, and don't let them laugh and insult the family, and we will not force them to become prostitutes; If you are their boss, then go upstairs and get the money, we can afford to hire people, and naturally we can afford to pay the price, and we will not do such a tasteless thing as a prostitute not paying the bill. What kind of relationship do you have with them? ”

Hou Fangyu didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, and his face turned red suddenly, and he was speechless for a while. The pro-soldiers and soldiers who stood in front of him couldn't help but laugh.
